Welcome!

Hello, I'm Marina! 

Starting in August 2026, I will join the Humphrey School of Public Affairs as an Assistant Professor. 

I research discrimination, labor economics, and public policy. My research uses quantitative methods and large-scale administrative data to examine how institutions and policies shape social and economic outcomes, particularly for marginalized communities.

Across my research, teaching, and community partnerships, I focus on producing rigorous, policy-relevant research that contributes to both academic knowledge and real-world decision-making.

My areas of expertise include:

• Policy evaluation and equity analysis

• Econometric and statistical analysis

• Administrative data analysis

• Applied quantitative methods

In addition to my academic work, I occasionally collaborate with public agencies, nonprofits, and research organizations on data analysis, evaluation, and other projects aligned with my areas of expertise.
